LXVIII - A Clean Slate.

.

A Clean Slate.

Out with the old and in with the new,
Fool yourself with a resolution or two:
Loose some weight,
Clean the shed,
Fix the gate,
Rotate the bed,
A habit to quit,
Some notes to write,
Get more fit,
Forget some slight,
Walk each day,
Drink good wine,
Open a café,
Protect your spine,
More quality time,
Be more polite,
Remove the grime,
That novel to write,
The list is endless, goes on and on.
Perhaps we’ve got this whole thing wrong.
We load ourselves with lists of guilt;
With the bricks of “must”, failure’s built.
What if we forgot our baggage to date
And started again, with a clean slate?

dull and a disappointment in real life ..hey! that's just like me.anyway ..i always make resolutions with the intention of breaking them the minute i write them down.but this time i wrote them a month ago so i would be resolution free by the new year. this year!happy new year, cosmo. so far so good at 8:00 am ... yawn ..

Seriously...when are you going to publish a book of your poems? This was so perfect ... you make it look so easy and I know it can't be. And have you been peeking at my list of resolutions? You pretty much got them all!!!

Happy 2009! Looking forward to more of your poetic genius in the new year!

Well put!! I stopped by to say conrat's for having your tribute to Garlic posted on Pictures, Poetry & Prose. It really made me smile big smiles as I read it; then I come over and see all of these great poems...
